We have dozens of scripts floating around, and many of them is simply
third-party/unsupported. (I can't and don't want to follow them.) I
think if a feature is useful, we should implement it, if it doesn't, we
should not, so if pacsearch is cool, pacman should support its features.
We are tending to "one script for one feature" which is odd imho, sorry.

I should have changed the subject, because this is not closely related
to the actual patch, this is about (third-party or official) scripts.
